Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a game released in 1996 to coincide with the novels and comics by the same name. It takes place during parts and inbetween The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. As Bounty Hunter Dash Rendar, players find themselves having to battle with the Empire, but also against a Crime Syndicate known as Black Sun, lead by Prince Xizor. The game is 10 missions long, but each mission can be quite long, and there's also plenty of playability in the form of finding secrets, and collecting Challenge Points, which reward players with extra lives after every mission, and special rewards for completing the game with all Challenge Points.

I play through the whole game on the highest difficulty setting, Jedi. Differences in Jedi difficulty include lasers from Snow Troopers, Storm Troopers, etc. doing much more damage, able to kill Dash in 2 to 3 hits, and Dash's own laser pistol does much more damage as well (can kill Imperial Troopers in one hit when the laser pistol is fully charged). Other than that then maybe health and ammo placement being different, Jedi isn't that much different from Hard mode.

This level is apparent that I'm not a fan of these type of levels in this game on this difficulty. I was panicing at the end when there was only 1 tiefighter left, because most of the time, it's the Tie Fighters that get me (They are very hard to locate and they hit hard in groups of four). Tie Bombers are easy to take out because they take forever to use their bombs. Yeah, I finish the mission with the Outrider in poor shape :\
